Description
The SFH551/1V is a transimpedance amplifier with digital TTL open collector output stage and integrated photodiode. The active area of the detector in connection with the molded microlens gives an efficient coupling from the end of a plastic fiber.

Features
• Bipolar IC with open-collector output
• Digital output, TTL compatible
• Sensitive in visible and near IR range
• Low switching threshold
• Transfer rate ≤ 5 Mbit/s
• 2.2 mm aperture holds standard 1000 micron plastic fiber
• No fiber stripping required
• Molded microlens for efficient coupling

Plastic Connector Housing
• Mounting screw attached to the connector
• Interference-free transmission from light-tight housing
• Transmitter and receiver can be flexibly positioned
• No cross talk
• Auto insertable and wave solderable
• Supplied in tubes
